@@sigvardronnholm Thank you

Al McKay’s EWF Experience just played in the rain. When did LA cats last see rain like this? 🤣

Hey! Thank you so much for the kind words & support. What kind of trumpet-related stuff would you like to see on my channel?

Thanks Ollie! How are doing in your trumpet exploits?

@@TrumpetTNT Well thanks mat, always work to be done!

@@ISuperTed use it as an exercise for flicking the bird 🤣

@@nikiwin4840 Thank you 🙏🏼 Please post anything you’d like to know more about here 👍🏼

@@TrumpetTNT How do you approach interpreting a piece of music to make it your own? Love to see a video on it.

thanks man 😊

Hi! Thanks for the question. The word buzz is a bit of a misnomer. The lips vibrate, but we don't actively make them do so. Several studies contain empirical evidence explaining that the lips vibrate by a backdraft of the air that we push down the horn. All the great teachers understand this. Would you be interested in me sending you a link to a great demonstration of this principle by John Harbaugh, Prof of Brass at Washington State Uni? It's truly fascinating

@TrumpetTNT Yes please send the link...am a trumpet hobbyist...wants to play my instrument efficiently

@@da11kingI can’t seem to copy & paste the link on here. If you search for ‘John Harbaugh trumpet physics’ you should find it. It’s in pt.1

Thank you, Sir

Do you play trumpet?

@@TrumpetTNTi playing cornet for a few years but i wanted to focus on my singing and we couldn’t afford lessons for both so i slowly js stopped playing

@@skunk5752 have you ever released or uploaded anything of you singing? I’d be interested to hear you

@@TrumpetTNT i have but not on youtube haha

@@TrumpetTNT absolutely

@@oddstreet11 If it isn’t in your spam, please email me ([email protected]) your email address and I’ll send it to you

Thanks man!

That's the plan! Except my laptop kept overheating and falling over when rendering! Too many tracks of me! I’ll have to wait until I get home to my daddy computer mid-March before doing another 🤣

@@TrumpetTNT My laptop overheated just playing it!

@@ilesjazz 🤣

Cool song , nicely done ✅

Hi Anthony Sorry about that. Have you checked your spam/junk folder? My system says that it did send to you. I will send you another. Thank you for your 👍🏼 and subs

@@TrumpetTNT thank you I will check mail.Great info. 👌

No nothing in spam or anywhere Help please ?

@@lenzotrumpet Strange 🤔 I will send you direct via email shortly. Thank you

@@TrumpetTNT ok thank you much appreciated 😊

Hi. Thanks for your question. My routine has gradually changed to address different areas of my playing that needed improvement. For example, I now do more tongue level and shape exercises (ee-ah-oh vowel sounds) from the Charles Colin book. My flexibility was something that I felt needed improving. Also, It’s always a good idea to freshen things up by changing routines incrementally over time (eg doing Clarke #1 single or ‘K’ tongued - at a comfortable tempo to promote consistency and evenness) This helps avoid wasting time on things you can already do and allows more time to work on stuff that really helps you improve as fast as possible. Please ask me a question whenever you need clarity. I’m here to help 😀

Thank you. More coming soon

Thank you. More coming soon…

Wow! You studied with James Stamp? Amazing! His mouthpieces and warm ups helped me rebuild my chops after getting smacked in the mouth leading to a mouthpiece repostioning. I'll do a video on them soon

😆 The dressing rooms in that theatre are just like bathrooms!

Ah! Small world. I was at the Playhouse. My parents also live in Zummerzet 😂

Always 😆

Hi! I’m sorry for not replying to you question until now. I have only found your comment via TubeBuddy, a channel management tool, not actually in the channel. Have you downloaded the free pdf of the Amazing Clarke?

@@TrumpetTNT yes

@@goid9402 Hi. I’m not exactly sure what you don’t understand about the pattern. If i may guess, is it the starting notes that you are not understanding? It’s all there on the pdf download if you are struggling to understand

Thank you very much for your support. More videos coming soon

Hey @kptrpt1! Thank you for the kind words and I really appreciate your gesture also. Watch this space for more tips and tricks 🎺

That’s a very good way of explaining and understanding what us trumpeters are all about and how it all works 👍🏼

It can also feel like we’ve been 15 rounds too sometime 🤣

You're very welcome! I'm glad that you are finding my videos helpful. My warm up routine is pretty much the same at home except that I usually do some free blowing eg jazz licks, simple melodies, etc to get my mind focused on playing as musically as possible during the routine. I often do the Bill Adam expanding long note exercise too which has been very beneficail. If this is something that you'd like to see a video on then please reply here :)

@@TrumpetTNT Thanks for your kind response, Simon. I'm a very senior citizen, playing 15 year after a 40-year lay-off. Jazz oriented; far from being a "pro" but I play well enough to get paying gigs and a few strokes here and there. It's never too late to learn, and I'm living proof, LOL. I'm not familiar with the Bill Adams method, though I've heard the name often. So, yes, I'd love to see a vid on that if you're so inclined. I'm mostly a Caruso follower, as that seems to have given me the most improvement. That said, I'm always open to new approaches. I'm going to check out some of your playing vids. Best luck with your career, and - stay warm.

Great to hear! Keep going 🎺

How’s it coming along?

@@TrumpetTNT I have fallen off the daily routine wagon. Pressure of work, DIY, getting sick with Covid, Christmas performances, and so on. This is a timely reminder to get back into it for the new year. Hope you're well 🎺

Hey! Thanks for the sub. Much appreciated. The thing about Clarke #1 is that it is so versatile. I'm currenrtly refining my double tonguing with it. BTW Next video dropping this weekend!! 🎺

@@TrumpetTNT You are certainly welcome.
